I got my shirt from T-Shirt Hell. It fucking rocks:
And since we’re on the subject, check out this hate mail someone sent to T-Shirt Hell. I have no idea which shirt she’s referring to, but there are several that fit the bill.

Subject: disgustingthis t shirt is down right degrading and disgusting………….why would
you be so ignorant as that to down grade our Lord And Savior Jesus
Christ….SHAME ON YOU.tandra d.
T-Shirt Hell’s response: Presently, we have about a half dozen shirts that are
degrading, disgusting, and down grade your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
So, while I applaud your charming use of alliteration, it is hard to know
how to respond to this when you are so vague about which particular shirt
offended you. As Judas once said to Jesus, “I know you’re going to be
crucified, but lighten up.” Tandra, take that cross out of your ass and
enjoy life and learn to laugh a bit. Your devotion should be a source of
joy, not anger. I’ve found that a good set of rosary beads can double as
ben wa balls. That way it’s good for you and for the Lord. Shame on me?
Jesus didn’t believe in judging people so how dare you judge me. Do you
think you’re better than Jesus? Well you’re wrong. Because me, and all
of my friends who are better than Jesus discussed it, and agreed that
you’re not.

Hello people.
I’m at Bangkok Airport now, headed to Siem Reap Cambodia. I haven’t caught Bird Flu yet, but if I do catch that shit, I’ll get my 15 minutes of fame.
I experienced a real banana show last night. That Amsterdam show pales in comaprison to the kind of shit they do here. Let’s just say that the bananas were rocketing from the stage into the audience like a Nolan Ryan fast ball. I’ll give you the full run down when I get back.
Later,
JJ
P.S. I got a massage from a dude in the men’s bathroom at a bar.

That shirt is AWESOME. I love T-shirt Hell. I’ve just never dared to buy anything quite yet, but I read the newsletter every month!

I was thinking earlier, as I was playing Spider-Man for PS2. JJ was Peter Parker’s boss at the Daily Bugle. Now that I think of it, you kind of remind me of that raving jackass J. Jonah Jameson.

That’s pretty friggin’ funny.
Keep up the great work!

I’m buying that shirt.

And the one which downgrades the “lord”.
A massage? From a dude in the men’s bathroom? Please tell me that was a typo…

Checking in again…. I’m at our hotel in Siem Reap Cambodia. Just got back from the Angkor temples. Funny thing: Angelina Jolie is a big star here. The locals have probably never heard of Tom Hanks or Jodie Foster or Brad Pitt - but Angelina shot Tomb Raider here so she’s a big star. One restaurant named a drink the Tomb Raider Cocktail. They have a picture of Jolie on the wall and it says, “Drink a Tomb Raider Cocktail. It’s Lara’s favorite.
Poppy:
Yeah those newsletters are hilarious. Those guys are total assholes.
Kev:
Thanks a lot. Now I’m not going to give you the badass t-shirt I just bought for you here in Cambodia.
Jackie:
Thanks. You rock.
Ranting:
Yeah, that whole massage thing was wild. You know how fancy restaurants sometimes have a guy in the restroom handing out towels, etc? Well, in Thailand, that guy also gives a quick massage while you wash your hands. Totally strange. I’ll give you all details when I get back. It was more than a little creepy.
November 20th, 2005
Whoa… Did he even tell you he was gonna give you a massage?
Tomb Raider Cocktail eh… Does that contain any parts of Lara
?

JJ… you going to the wrong places my man! Where Im at, there are skimpily dressed ladies giving out massages in the mens peepee room. Tell me if you hit Pattaya…show you the hot clubs.
November 21st, 2005
That response from the T-shirt hell dude seriously rocked. Inspiring actually.
Glad you’re having a good trip, JJ, sounds like you’re accumulating lots of post fodder!
November 21st, 2005
I love T-Shirt Hell. I get their newsletter just so I can laugh.

Ranting:
No, he totally snuck up on me!
Trish:
Damn, that sounds a lot better!
Sar:
Definitely. I’ll have plenty of stories (and I’m even taking notes).
Mel:
Yeah, those guys are hilarious.

Congrats on the no bird flu. WHAT ABOUT THE THAI STICK? Fuck a bunch of massages and Lara booze.

God, it sucks that I’m a chick. Projectile coming is so much harder for us. i don’t think anyone would believe it for starters, and second, like only 10% of the population in this god-forsaken land of rednecks would even get it.
